Research focuses on questions regarding primate ecology, biology, and development that are hoped to provide insight into human condition and the means to improve the welfare of nonhuman primate populations. The conservancy's education efforts provide "living lab" training and research opportunities for those interested in primate conservation efforts, such as conservationists, educators, and young scientists. The conservancy partners with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) in nearby countries native to many nonhuman primate species. They also work to engage the public in conservation related efforts. DuMond conservancy is also home to Owl Monkeys that were formerly in research labs. Florida's warm climate allows the conservancy to provide the Owl monkeys a place to range either freely, in a lush, multi-acre forest habitat, or in large, secluded enclosures with lush, natural vegetation.
